A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

The point is, no one living in the developed world has to live like that just to have financial freedom. Not while people like billionaires can be taxed enough that we can consider living like a miser archaic
We have to either take it from them, or figure out how to get as much freedom from the rat race as possible by other means. The taking it from them part is difficult because the people with the money also have most of the guns and, by extension, laws.
